Tanoh Kpassagnon

Signing Tanoh Kpassagnon might be the most difficult task on this list. He just finished his contract with the Kansas City Chiefs and has plenty of Super Bowl and postseason experience. That would be a huge positive for Green Bay, but will also likely drive up his price.

At 6-foot-7 and 289 pounds, he’s an intimidating presence on the football field and would provide Green Bay with some nice physicality at the line of scrimmage. He’s coming off a down season for the Chiefs and his price is likely lower than ever before. Packers’ outside linebackers coach Mike Smith knows Kpassagnon after coaching him in 2018 and that connection could help bring him over.
